Story summary

The New York Giants suffered a 24-21 loss to the Washington Commanders on Thursday, November 13, 2026, in a game that kept Washington in the playoff mix. The defeat followed a period of resilience for the Giants, who had recently ended a 13-game losing streak at the Linc by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 19-11. During that victory, starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a hip injury and was replaced by Jameis Winston, who led a 76-yard go-ahead touchdown drive. Despite the injury, McCarthy stated on November 9 that he felt good and planned to play against Washington. However, the Giants were unable to hold a four-point lead in the final two minutes of the November 13 game after Jayden Daniels threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs with 57 seconds remaining. The loss leaves the Giants with a 5-3-1 record, holding a two-game lead over the Commanders (3-5-1) for first place in the NFC East. The Giants now face a difficult stretch of the schedule to determine if they remain legitimate playoff contenders.
